Today I went to the best bird show I've ever seen - ANYWHERE (reality, TV, or online). And thanks to my iphone, I was able to catch the coolest moment in slo mo!

This is a majestic ~7-foot wingspan king vulture flying just a few inches over head. Never experienced anything like this before. WOW.
Had the best spot in the house!
The coolest bird show I've ever seen!

Yeah, that is cool! He almost scalped ya, LOL.
Is that slow motion a feature of your phone's camera app, or do you apply that with some other video software?

Yeah that comes built-in with the iphone6.
By the way, while that was the coolest part, it may not have been the most impressive. They had a total of maybe 40+ different birds from different species (including a variety of parrots), and they were all free flying within and around (outside) the stadium in tightly scripted choreography. I'm still processing it!

We have bird shows like that at the Texas State Fair. I always enjoy seeing them fly so close up. Very cool video.
